| Extra features | The Ender 3 V1 is a DIY assembly 3D printer, a sales leader since 2017, standing out for its cost-benefit. With a wide printing capacity, it has a CNC machined structure for precision and stability. It offers high-precision prints with low noise, thanks to its innovative V-profile and pulleys. It has a self-adhesive magnetic platform for easy removal of models and excellent adhesion. The Ender 3 heats up quickly, reaching 100°C in 5 minutes, ideal for agile prints. It includes protection against power failures, allowing you to resume printing after interruptions, saving time and material. | The Ender 3 V3 KE, an advancement in the Ender line, achieves print speeds of up to 500mm/s with its touchscreen and WiFi connectivity. Although it has a slightly smaller print area than the SE model, it makes up for it with superior print quality. Its robust design, high-quality components, and intuitive wireless control are appreciated, although Creality's mobile app lacks practicality and does not have a closed system. It stands out for its linear track on the X-axis for stability at high speeds and the hotend that supports up to 300°C, ideal for high-temperature filaments. | The Creality K2 Plus 3D Printer stands out for its multicolor printing, large build volume (350x350x350 mm) and Apus Direct Drive extruder with tri-metal protection nozzle. It features automatic anti-tilt leveling, FOC closed-loop motors and active chamber heating. In addition, it has an intelligent CFS filament management system, cameras for calibration and monitoring, a 4.3-inch touchscreen and advanced sensors to optimize the printing process. |
| Support for multiple colors and materials (AMS and CFS) | NO | NO | YES |
